Udupi: Pramod Madhwaraj slams DC for callous attitude in quarantining pregnant lady


Daijiworld media network - Udupi (JD)

Udupi, May 27: Former minister Pramod Madhwaraj condemned deputy commissioner G Jagadeesha for the ‘irresponsible’ way in which he handled the quarantining of a pregnant lady.

Pramodh tweeted to the Karnataka chief minsiter B S Yediyurappa asking him to take action against the Udupi deputy commissioner.

The tweet stated: "One pregnant lady who came from Dubai has been sent for hotel quarantine against the rules of the government and it is 15 days and she has not been sent home and even home food has been stopped to her. Take action against @dcudupi for his irresponsibility. @BSYBJP"

The tweet immediately went viral. The official handle of the deputy commissioner, Udupi @DEOUDUPI in clarifying to the tweet of Pramod Madhwaraj stated there is no question of irresponsibility. However, tests need to be conducted on more than 8,000 people who entered the district from outside the state and abroad. The lady being a primary contact of a positive COVID patient needed to be tested again.

The debate escalated as many followers joined in favour of and against Madhwaraj's statement.

Pramodh also stated, "Bold decisions can't be selective. No one can decide as he likes. They are bound by government orders and no officer can flout government orders. No officer is above the government."

The tweet is now a debatable issue among several persons including those who are in quarantine. Many people undergoing quarantine have also retweeted the tweet.

However, the twitter handle @DEOUDUPI is being shown as not valid at the moment. 

Further, Udupi MLA Raghupati Bhat offering support to DC said that Madhwaraj has been in home quarantine from the past 60 days the Dc has been working day and night for people's well-being.

    The Karnataka BJP government circular itself is wrong which District Commissioner is forced to follow and present as an justification.
    How an International passenger who traveled from abroad can get ICMR lab certified 'negative report' as soon she arrives?
    I think this rules need to reviewed and withdrawn for pregnant ladies, toddlers, special need people, critical care patients and old age group on life support.
    Moreover if government is unable to provide services despite charging the air passengers then responsibility and the blame should be taken by them.

    Mr Raghupathi Bhat, the Dakshina Kannada / Udupi MPs & MLAs who got elected because of Prime Minister Modi, would have to answer a lot during the next election. All of you , perhaps with the exception of Sreenivasa Poojary, came well short of expectation, ceding all authority & responsibility on DC.

    In this case, Pramod Madhwaraj is right. Many of us BJP supporters back him on this issue. The who quarantine business is mismanaged & going to counter productive & eventually unmanageable, leaving the government no option other home quarantine.

    My niece who is a Cancer survivor, with low immunity spent more than 2 weeks in Hebri quarantine. No allowances were made in-spite of repeated requests. Other family members are still languishing in hotels in Hebri, who not being released citing that no tests are done. If some guys believe there are no Quarantine Lobbys profiteering from this tragedy, please think again.

    The proponents who argue that forced mass quarantine in Schools / halls with 1 or 2 dirty toilets, please think of the probability of the people getting infected is more in these places or at home quarantine where a maximum of 4-5 people are housed. I

    Home quarantine is Safety protocols is the solution. If anybody breaks home quarantine rules they can easily be booked under relevant laws.

    In any case, government is going to get overwhelmed soon with this quarantine business & mandate home quarantine for people coming from other states / abroad.

    I am fan of both Mr.Pramod as well as Udupi zilla DC Mr.Jagadeesha. In this case I feel Mr.Pramods statement is unhealthy. We should not politicize the current situation. In fact all parties must volunteer and work as one in order to encounter and win over this pandemic. Mr.Jagadeesh and his team are doing a great job round the clock 24x7. Kudos to them. Mr.Pramod should have met DC in person and sorted out rather then tweeting. In fact if all of us stay united and collectively discuss more solutions will come out.

    DC is doing great. Its not easy task to handle such situation of emergency. But the efforts that are being taken in Udupi are admirable. Even after such tragedies around us if we don't learn to appreciate the goodness and show attitudes what good can we expect???

    Jagdeesh is doing his best & already proved himself. However, this one incident should have been avoided.
     8.5 Months pregnant lady should have been given priority and sorted out any other issues in the beginning itself. 
    Stopping home food to the sick people or Pregnant ladies does not sound pleasant. Some provisions should be kept. OR hire a better cook in the hotel during this period.

    Sufficient food is definitely available if you pay money, this is not an issue here. My concern was for sick & Pregnant women who are following different diet plan as per doctors advice. Hope you understand.

    I am fan of Pramod Madwaraj mainly due to the work and contribution from him for the Udupi district. but in this instance I feel our DC is doing good job. he can't please everyone. he is doing great job. I ended with travel back to bangalore @ lockdown 2 fue to work requirement and passes were required from District administration. our Kundapura Tashildar office requested to produce a bunch of documents along with medical report . I found government doctors and all government officials working to the higher standards than usual mainly due to the fear of DC. few expressed their fear to me. One of the officer from Kundapura Tashildar office called me around 9.30pm to update the pass is ready . I had a plan to travel next day morning and they have waited me till 10.30pm .
    all credits goes to DC. we need able leader like him to change our poor administration.

    @ Jossey saldhana..

    Yes we agree he is safeguarding, but no one above the book of law.

    When govt has passed the rule for 14 days quarantine and pregnant ladies even after completing 14 days if not discharged. Then whom to be blamed???

    DC should not bring the rules from his Home. Lets all follow govt instructions and be safe.

    A big thank you for Mr. Pramod Madhwaraj!! May god give you more power.

    Irresponsible behavior from Udupi administration, despite of 2 negative covid reports pregnant ladies were not discharged in Udupi even after completing 14 days hotel Quarantine and in response Udupi administration confirmed that mix up in the reports from hospital so we have to take one more test and further extension of hotel quarantine.

    This pregnant lady in her 8.5 months already suffering from 14 days quarantine and again due to administration negligence they have been asked to further extend.

    In this situation, pramod is a messaiah. Thanks a million Sir ✌️

    Mr Promad madwaraj has no write to speak about district administration n and MLA Mr Raghupath Bhatt who are doing good work in helping people in this Epidemic. Mr Madawaraj is not in picture to help people in this epidemic in past three months and he is making issues in twitter sitting in his lavish home . Mr Madwaraj has not done any donations for poor people or either he has distributed any food items

    Mr Madwary please dont comment sitting at home . Use your energy and money helping people and earn good name .
